SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (migration)

SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (migration)

 

  

Ladies and Gents (and Ed),

I am currently in the midst of a migration from 2000 to 20005. Only one
hold-up Reporting Services...

Let me just start off by saying we run everything on virtual machines so, I
am working on a clone and my current production box is functioning just
fine... When I am content with the migration I will just bring the latest
backups over and roll out with 2005 (renaming my new server to the old server
name)...

Anyway, I am trying to migrate Reporting Services and it isn't going so
well...

I have been referencing the following URLs for the process...

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156421.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143736.aspx

Through it all I am just getting my butt kicked... I backed up keys and dbs
etc. Brought everything over to the new server and I can't get the reporting
services service to allow me to do anything...

Does anyone have a cut and dry (at this point easy reading) guide to follow
on this?

I am just going to uninstall reporting services and start from Scratch...

Thanks,

A mistake does not become an error until one refuses to correct it.
